5. Soil Assessment

The industrial sites that are used for the following industries: Petro-chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, rubber and plastics industry, textile printing and dyeing industry, metal surface treatment, metal smelting and rolling industry, nonmetallic mineral products industry, leather tanning industry, metal casting processing industry, the production, storage and use of hazardous chemicals, the pesticide production industry, the collection, disposal of hazardous waste sites and the gas station, domestic waste treatment plant, sewage treatment plant need to have relevant investigation, risk assessment and remediation when the original sites are redeveloped for environmental sensitivity sites like residence, store, school, kindergarten, hospital, nursing home, playground, park, stadium, exhibition buildings, etc. Mega construction projects are likely to involve demolition and reconstruction, as they usually take up large spaces. And then the soil assessment would be very necessary if above-mentioned chemical projects were once in the area. Otherwise it is difficult to prove that the environmental management of the new project is not affected by the negative impact left by previous projects. Soil assessment shall entrust a qualified experienced institute to carry out the main work.
